We’re Gravesend’s leading experts for flood damage cleaning solutions.
If you live near a river or the coast, you are more likely to experience a flood during severe weather. It can be unpleasant and dangerous to clean your flooded house without professional help. Floodwater may draw pests like rats, mice, and flies, and contains pollutants and hazards like waste or exposed electrical wires.
If there is an emergency, ICE Cleaning can arrive within a few hours. Our flood damage cleaning team will efficiently remove excess water from the area and sanitise any contaminated surfaces.

Preparing for a flood
If you reside in a high-risk location, you should always have a strategy ready to respond quickly in the event of a severe flood alert. You won't have much time to react to an unanticipated flash flood, so being prepared will protect your safety and enable you to leave quickly if necessary.
- Set local alerts using the British Red Cross Emergency App, or activate UK government emergency alerts
- Make an evacuation strategy for you, your family, and your pets
- List any medications and other necessities you might require
- Create an emergency supply kit including a mobile phone charger, first aid supplies, medications, water, food, emergency contact information, and warm, waterproof clothes
- Ensure flood damage is covered by your insurance policy, or check to see if you qualify for flood insurance support
- Make a list of vulnerable or elderly neighbours and notify them when an alarm is issued
- Enrol in first aid courses
How to act depending on the severity of a warning
Depending on the intensity of the flood and the potential for fatalities among the general population, the UK government will issue a series of flood warnings. GOV.UK has a guide for in-depth descriptions of these alerts and what to do if you receive a flood warning.
General flood warning
- If it is safe, move your cars to a higher area
- Take family and pets to a safe place
- Valuables, furniture, and other valuable items should be kept in a secure location, such as the attic or upstairs
- If it is safe, turn off all utilities including gas, water, and electricity
- Stay away from electrical devices underwater
- Set up sandbags, flood barriers, or air brick coverings to protect the property
- Keep an eye out for flood alerts
Severe flood warning
- Follow any evacuation orders from the local government
- Bring an emergency kit with you that contains a torch, batteries, mobile phone, charger, warm clothing, essential phone numbers, water, food, a first aid kit, medication, and infant care supplies (if necessary)
- Notify your neighbours or fellow renters
- Avoid driving or walking in floodwater
- Make sure no one is near the floodwaters
- In case you touch floodwater, wash your skin
- If you are in danger, dial 999

How to act after a flood
When you first return home, check for standing water around the exterior. Next, look for any loose electricity wires or gas leaks. If you see these around your home, do not enter.
Instead, you must call a building inspector to evaluate the property if you see any obvious damage, such as cracked or chipped brickwork.
To avoid burnout, you must always take care of yourself and take frequent breaks if you are recovering damaged items. Speak with your insurance provider if you believe your house may have sustained significant damage before conducting the next steps.
- If required, put on safety gear, including rubber boots, gloves, face masks, goggles, and waterproof over pants
- Get pictures of the damage to give to your insurance provider
- Remove contaminated and wet items to let them dry out
- Throw away any tainted food, water, medications, or cosmetics
- Open windows and doors to let fresh air into the house
- Use air purifiers and dehumidifiers in the affected rooms
- Contact a professional water damage restoration company
